3 Bucs who made the greatest impact vs. the Redskins

On Thursday night, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers faced the Washington Redskins in their final preseason game. With incredibly close position battles on the line, the Bucs were searching for the right players to make the team’s league-mandated 53-man roster. Here are several players who made a strong case for why they deserve a job with the Bucs this year:

RB Peyton Barber

In the first quarter, Barber was handed the rock to start off the rushing attack. Behind QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, Barber belted out a good chunk of yards on Tampa Bay’s first drive. Barber is in his second-year out of Auburn and is still developing his skills, but has proven that he has progressed immensely.

Barber ended the night with 6 carries for 23 yards which may have certainly helped him solidify a role on the team’s roster.

LB Adarius Glanton

The third-year linebacker from Florida Atlantic might have been overlooked from the fans point of view. But he certainly showed up Thursday night in this final preseason opportunity. Playing with the first team, he was definitely one of Tampa Bay’s most powerful weapons on defenae. Glanton had 9 tackles, 2 tackles for loss and a number of quarterback hits as well. He shined with his lateral quickness, reminiscent of Bucs’ star LB Lavonte David.

WR Bobo Wilson

In a fight for a possible last wide receiver spot, Bobo Wilson was definitely there when needed. Wilson displayed what makes him such a valuable wide receiver as he finished the night with 3 receptions for 58 yards among quite a few explosive plays. With his great route running and knowledge of the Bucs’ playbook, he put on a pretty strong performance no doubt.

Overall, it was a game that revolved around position battles and roster cuts. Although Tampa Bay fell short with a 13-10 loss, it was still a crucial matchup. Up next, the Buccaneers kick-off the regular season on Sept. 10 against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium at 1:00 p.m. ET.
